Your privacy, explained.
This page explains what Oety processes during speaking practice, why that processing is needed, and how your data is handled.
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how veridir (“we”, “us”, and “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in the mobile application Oety: OET AI Speaking Practice (the “App”).
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies only to the App Oety: OET AI Speaking Practice. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this document.
2. No User Accounts
The App does not require you to create an account or register in any way. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other direct identifiers for the purpose of creating user profiles.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Voice recordings for practice
When you use the speaking practice features, the App records your voice on your device in order to:
- Convert speech to text (speech-to-text / STT), and
- Generate AI-based feedback and scores on your performance.
These recordings are used only for practice and evaluation purposes inside the App.
3.2 Transcripts and AI processing
The audio from your practice sessions is converted into text (“transcripts”). These transcripts are sent to AI language models (LLMs) to:
- Generate realistic patient responses, and
- Provide automated scoring and feedback on your speaking performance.
The data we send typically includes:
- Your recorded speech, and
- Context about the scenario and conversation needed for the AI to respond.
We design the App so that you do not need to share your own real personal information during practice. Please avoid sharing any real name, contact details, or other confidential personal information during practice sessions.
3.3 Technical and diagnostic data
We may process limited technical information such as:
- Approximate duration of each practice session, and
- Basic error logs to diagnose crashes or connection problems.
This information is used solely to keep the App running reliably and to improve stability. We do not use it to track you across apps or websites, and we do not build marketing profiles.
4. What We Do Not Collect or Track
- No user registration data (no username, password, or email required).
- No advertising identifiers for targeted ads.
- No third-party advertising SDKs.
- No behavior tracking across other apps or websites.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use your information strictly for the following purposes:
- To provide speaking practice and simulations for the OET exam.
- To convert your voice into text so AI models can analyze it.
- To generate automated feedback, scores, and reports to help you improve.
- To maintain and improve the reliability and performance of the App.
6. Use of Third-Party Service Providers
To provide speech recognition and AI feedback, we rely on reputable third-party service providers, including Google (Gemini) and OpenAI services. These providers process your audio and transcript data only to:
- Recognize your speech (convert audio to text), and
- Generate AI responses and evaluation.
These providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not sell your data to any third parties, and we do not allow third parties to use your data for their own advertising to you through this App.
7. Data Storage and Retention
Audio recordings are typically processed for speech recognition and playback as part of the session. They are not kept longer than necessary to provide the practice functionality.
Transcripts and scores may be temporarily stored to show you your recent practice sessions and history inside the App.
We do not keep data longer than necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or longer than required by applicable law.
8. Children’s Privacy
The App is designed for adult learners preparing for professional healthcare exams. It is not intended for children under the age required by local law to consent to data processing on their own. If you believe a child has used the App and provided data, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
10. Your Choices and Controls
You can stop using the App at any time. If you uninstall the App, data stored locally on your device, such as practice history, will be removed from that device.
You can choose not to speak or record if you do not want your voice to be processed.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App or in legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after any changes means you accept the updated Policy.
12. Contact Us
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, you can contact veridir using the contact information provided on the App Store listing for Oety: OET AI Speaking Practice.
